Hell's Gate National Park

We had a wonderful opportunity to explore a natural wonder where geothermal vents come up from the ground at Hell's Gate National Park. Kenya harvests this natural power to supply energy for half the country. Surrounded by Africa's natural wildlife we explored the park and got to go hiking in a beautiful ravine. Watch our for flash floods!

We got to see Thomson's gazelles, warthogs, impala, giraffe, a giant water buffalo (who are notoriously dangerous) but alas no big cats yet. Gus says his favorite is a cheetah, if we don't see one on safari in the Masai Mara then we can go to a animal orphanage in Nairobi where you can supposedly pet them!
